The most reasonable population to which the results of this observational study can be generalized is **consumers in Texas**.
This is because the samples were gathered specifically at food shows throughout the state of Texas, and the feedback reflects the preferences of those attendees rather than consumers from other regions or the entire country. Generalizing to a wider population, such as consumers internationally or in the entire country, would not be appropriate given the localized nature of the data collection.
